Description:
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1970. Batian is one of the Masai tribe, an ancient nomadic people of East Africa, who keep goats, cattle and sheep. Batian's experiences and courage provokes a crisis that requires his tribesmen to face squarely their resistance to changing ways. In trying to decide what to do with the boy too young to be treated as a man, yet too skilled a warrior and herdsman to be treated as a boy, the elders of the tribe have to accept new ways and new ideas. The author has centered her story on an appealing hero through whom the problems of modern Africa are made clear and real. Nicely illustrated by drawings.....many in full-page. Orange cloth boards. No ownership markings. A nice sound clean book in an illustrated dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.

New York: Doubleday & Company Inc., 1974. 'Family Bookshelf Edition'. The passage from childhood to maturity is difficult at best, and for eleven-year-old Billy Baker it was a time for questioning all the values he'd been taught to live by as a farm boy in the Colorado of the 1880s. It was time for viewing neighbors, friends and particularly his father through eyes no longer filled with awe. And somehow the doubts and fears afflicting the boy found an outlet in the injured red-tailed hawk that Billy was raising as his own. Gift inscription to ffep. Sticker removal scar to ffep. Mild lean to book. A sound book in a price-intact illustrated dust jacket. Jacket illustration by Kenneth Francis Dewey.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good.

Description:
Middletown, Connecticut: AMerican Education Publications (c.1971) 'The Moonstone' has been called the first of the great English detective novels. its author based his character of Sergeant Cuff on an actual policeman, Inspector Whicher. Two things in particular make this novel an unusual mystery. First, it is realistic about human nature. Sergeant Cuff is not a superman who never makes mistakes. Secondly, 'The Moonstone' is unusual in the way the story is written. The author lets different characters take turns in telling all they know about certain incidents. Like witnesses in court, each character can tell part of the story. The full story is not known until the end of the book. This book is very well illustrated, many illustrations in b/w and nine in full-page colour. Name to fep. A sound, tight, clean book showing minimal edgewear to book extremities.. Hard Cover.
